I don't see the problem. I think I have already solved all those issues. In fact:
Package versions Version 0.1 Information Version: 0.1 (View RFS template<http://mentors.debian.net/package/rfs/pygtkplot>) Uploaded: 2011-08-22 14:36 Source package: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pygtkplot/pygtkplot_0.1.dsc Section: math Priority: extra QA information Info: /home/expo/data/live/incoming/pygtkplot_0.1_i386.changes Info: pygtkplot_0.1.dsc Info: Package is Lintian clean Warning: Package is native Info: The maintainer and uploader emails are the same Warning: A watch file is not present Info: Homepage: https://launchpad.net/pygtkplot Info: The package uses straight debhelper I don't know how to solve the native issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
